An old trick from previous versions of Windows is still present in Windows 11.

Simply create a folder on your desktop, with the following name:

Code:

GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

Heh, that was pretty cool. Thanks, it has pretty much every shortcut you would need for maintenance and more.

Forgot about it until now. An old easter egg dating back to XP (maybe 2000).

The good ol' God Mode.

It was one of the first things I tried on Windows 11.

Ok dumb question - What is God mode and what can you do with it?

Damn, I never knew this existed until now. Thank you for that, it's a pretty neat shortcut.

I've been using God Mode since Windows 95. Couldn't get It to run on Windows 3.1.

A lot has changed since then.

A lot has changed indeed   Looking at pictures of Windows 95 online now, it's crazy to see how much Windows has evolved since then.

I'm amazed at how you found out about God Mode so early though. Windows 95 should be one of the earliest versions of the OS, right? How did people learn about God Mode back then?

Actually, Windows 3.1 was prior to Windows 95.

I've still got a copy of Windows 3.1 as a bootable ISO file that's "8.5 MB" In capacity.

How did people learn about God Mode back then?

It was 27 years ago, so to be honest, I don't remember how many people were aware of It.

I never realized I could do this feature, I learn stuff everyday on this site. Good to know, it’ll be helpful to do some task.
